Do you want a chance to win to win a 6 pack of Durvillea Wine too? Last night I made a fantastic blue cod dish with a very easy and tasty Beurre Blanc style recipe that Maree from Hotel d’Urville gave to me. I served the fish with mashed potato, the Butter Suace sauce (recipe below) and a spinach, baby tomato and sliced fennel bulb salad with a squeezed lemon dressing. This was fantastic, so easy to do, and matched perfectly with Sauvignon Blanc.

Since Maree’s Butter Sauce (Beurre Blanc style) was so easy and delicious I have posted it below:
In a microwavable dish add one diced shallot, 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar, 4 Tbsp White Wine (I used Durvillea Sauvignon Blanc) and some peppercorns. Warm in microwave for 45 seconds.
Put two egg yolks into food processor and blend
Sieve white wine reduction and add to food processor while motor going
Melt 200g of butter and slowly add to food processor while motor going in a steady stream (like adding oil to make mayonnaise)
Blend until thickens then serve.
Best meal I had with Sauvignon Blanc, was a Poule A Pot (chicken in a pot) meal that I had at a french bistro in Akaroa many years back, divine!
Baked chicken breast stuffed with fresh basil pesto, wrapped in panchetta is my favorite accompaniment to a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.
Asparagus and artichoke pasta last night was just perfect with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc – complemented the ‘green pea’ character.
Little neck clams sauteed in garlic, add cream and toss through fresh tagliatelle. Serve with a glass of Sauv Blanc – perrrrfect!
Steamed prawns with asparagus, tomatoes and fennel with green goddess dressing and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc
On a recent dive trip in Fiordland we collected some scallops and had them pan fried with some garlic and a squeeze of lime – perfect with a glass of sauv blanc!
